1. You already have someone who gets all your inside jokes – they probably aren’t even funny but she’s required to laugh since no one else will
2. There’s no awkward “getting to know each other” period – she knows who to beat up if necessary
3. You have someone to take the long drive home with while listening to one direction for 7 hours straight
4. She knows all your problems with your boyfriend, best friends and family and acts like they are her problems which you love because you can’t handle them alone
5. She understands you better than anyone else, even better than yourself sometimes – she knows what you want to eat and which bar you want to go to when you cant decide
6. You will more than likely always want to do the same things – its never awkward when she tells you she doesn’t want to go out because you most likely were thinking the same thing
7. You’ll never feel homesick
8. She knows how to cheer you up when your heart is breaking – popcorn chicken from sheetz with a chocolate milkshake on the side
9. You know all her secrets that absolutely no one else knows about
10. You have a free live-in therapist
11. You can drunkenly cry about missing graduation and prom while you’re out and it’s totally acceptable
12. You know you can be your crazy self with each other
13. Last but not least, you have an extra 4 years which is much more than most best friends do to plan the wedding of your dreams and find your future frat boy husband
She will be your rock these next 4 years and the person you run to if you need something or if you feel like you have no where else to go, so make sure she’s ready for the challenge with all the tears, partying and arguments. Always make sure you thank her and never ever take her for granted because you wouldn’t survive without her.
[Thanks for being you Steph, love ya!]
